Bourne Won't Seek Re-election, Seeks Lt.Governor Instead

There's been buzz in recent days that State Representative Avery Bourne might not seek another term and instead shift her focus to statewide office.  Well that buzz has proven true as Bourne has launched her bid for Lt. Governor, serving as the running mate of Auroura Mayor Richard Irvin.  The campaign says "as Lieutenant Governor, Avery will be Richard Irvin’s partner in fighting crime, cutting taxes and spending, and cleaning up corruption."    Bourne was just 22 when she joined the Illinois General Assembly in 2015 , making her the youngest person to ever be sworn into state legislature.
